The Twentieth Republic - all back and its time to bubble bubble ...

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement. Baiters, haters, goaders and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are NOT staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

You can play here if you are a member of one the following groups-

-ABBA - anti bashers and baiting association
-SWAB - school workers against bashers
-SWOT - school workers opposing teacherbashers
-STARS - schoolworkers together against ranting + slurs

Do not give ‘The Every twat for Themselves mob’ the staffroom password as a number of them are operating in an alternative reality.

No DfE muppets allowed

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes, and the ability to sniff out where the toffee vodka is hidden.

If you are fed up with cakes and biscuits there is now a cheeseboard on offer

If you come with a stick to goad us then that is not allowed in the staffroom, especially if you have not used the hand gel. Close the door quietly on your way out and put your mask on.

Perfect that is how I felt last night when the 'speschal' one was twittering away on the corona thread

For all the teachers (and pedants) out there. :)

In my random (let's teach in every class in the school) timetable. I was in several rooms today where the kids desks at the front are literally touching the (tiny) teachers desk. There's no way to stay 2m away in any but my bottom set year 10. And I can't stay 2m away from them as they need too much help. I am most definitely in every single bubble

Uhoh2020 has name changed after the gas chamber thing. Not to covidity though.

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

Just call her Hun and point out spelling errors.

Trying to work out who Covidity is - I think that is another regular

[monkeytennis97]

[noblegiraffe]

How early can I retire?

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

Yep I am here @Augustbreeze

Just had our first day with mask. SD is still chaotic. Our main problem is lunch and break - it is carnage.

[GravityFalls]

Just checked my work email - a panicked email has been sent from the principal to parents and students basically begging them to social distance and wear masks, but with the threat that college might have to close or go to 50/50 remote learning - the trouble is I’m not sure that’s much of a threat? I’d be happier with that and so would many parents and students (given that there’s no childcare issues involved).

@Danglingmod

Kidney - I think you have it on the nose.

I have been Mrs Dedicated, Mrs 200% in my entire working life. Not any more.

Yep. Realistically I'm not leaving, so I've got to get through it.

[Augustbreeze]

We need a new thread: is @StaffAssociationRepresentative around so wonder?

So sorry that it's awful for many of you. 🧁 (made by your own fair hands, obvs... or those of M.Kipling of course!)

[Danglingmod]

Kidney - I think you have it on the nose.

I have been Mrs Dedicated, Mrs 200% in my entire working life. Not any more.

[Kidneybingo]

I'm determined that it's just a job to me now. No email checking, none of my own money, limiting my hours each day. Yes, it will mean some things don't get done, but it's how it has to be.

[SaltyAndFresh]

I do wonder if some posters have been watching The Matrix on a loop throughout lockdown and see themselves as Neo.

[ohthegoats]

I think there'll be a mass of resignations by half term

Me too. Might be me too.

[ohthegoats]

Lots of people are going to be SD for the rest of their lives. Shortened or otherwise. You can't just end it.
